Hey Vocal, just 3 Quick Suggestions.
I am a VOCAL creator and have been a creator on this site for over three years now.

Not because we “settled” or anything, but because for many people – through the course of our lives, we come to find that even when people tick a couple of boxes on our checklists, if there’s no chemistry, there’s no chemistry and chemistry is something you cannot force.
